Do you mean something that would be installed on a windows machine and monitor all browser activity?

yes, i was inspired by the android App - Checky that counts how many times you look at your phone
and now I want to make a version which can be use in PC

and right now i'm blank -_-

I am not familiar with how this works but I don't believe it is very trivial. I'd suggest researching how parental controls work because you'll likely need to do it similar to how they work.

Ok Sir, I'll definitely try that
thank you :)

Also look into Windows OS hooks...

1 solution

OS hooks are not going to do it.

What you're describing is a proxy server. All requests go through the proxy and it can do whatever it wants with the URL requested, including count how many times it's visited.

A proxy is just about the only thing that's going to work with all browsers.

This is NOT a trivial thing to implement.
